My Lily’s have been amazing. What is the best way to store them for next year?
Hi Susan
Leave your lilies where they are, just cut off the flower heads and leave the stem/foliage until they have completely died back and turned yellow and hollow. This is usually well into the Autumn. You can then remove the stem and foliage by cutting them just above ground level.
Leave your bulbs outside in soil as they like a cold dormant phase. They just don’t like to get, so ensure they have plenty of drainage. Bring pots under a bit of shelter from rain and/or ensure they are on feet to prevent waterlogging.
